I know this is not how the law works, but for this fun activity let's pretend it is.

Ok, so this was a fun activity we once did in my psychology class.

You play a detective. A woman (ms. A) walks in and tells you, that a person (mr. B) Has been harrassing them by text message and would like to file a restraining order. You decide if the restraining order is accurate or not.

Ms. A: shows evidence of over 200 hundred messages complaining about her actions, and even after over 10 times of Ms. A asking Mr. B to stop harrassing and contacting her, he does not stop messaging her and spins it as having a discussion.

Mr. B. Suspecting you are investigating him for harrassment comes to you. Tries to spin the story that it was 2 friends having a disagreement. He goes on a very long winded overly detailed information about what happened. And it does not seem the same as what evidence you saw.

You make your decision to send the restraining order to the judge.(yes i know this isn't how the law works, but for this exercise it does)

MR. B: disappointed in the decision and has your number sends you over 125 messages telling you that you are wrong, and then when you say you are not changing your decision. Sends 75 messages trying to convince you that you are hurting his wife, and making her sick. You then say. "I believe in my heart i am right. Could I be wrong? Possibly. But to much evidence proves you to be guilty. So in my heart i believe you are guilty and will continue."

MS. A. Tells you she is still a victim as they wait for the court hearing. She sends you 75 of the 200 messages. Where he blames her for the detective's choice. Mr. B then accuses you the detective of being one sided and only listening to her. Then you see Mr. B has now lied about what you said. He took your words and twisted them. He claimed you said. "I am most likely wrong, and don't care that I'm wrong, and I am choosing to side with Ms. A"

So a 32 year old friend I know who has a wife and child posted (on Instagram) a very cute family picture that I found absolutely adorable... what I didn't expect to find was all his friends in the comment section making fun of him for his "dad shorts" and "his shorts being way too short."

He himself seemed cool about it and didn't mind. He was just kind of like, "They're literally not that short though? But if I made you laugh, that's a good thing I guess, haha." His wife even came in from her account and started saying stuff like, "Noooo! His shorts are absolutely not too short! I literally helped him pick them out! They're the perfect length for men's shorts, whether you like it or not! Goodbye to long baggy cargo shorts! Haha."

Overall it seemed pretty lighthearted, and no one was truly offended, but... I was just kind of confused. Is this really the length of shorts people nowadays consider "dad shorts" or "short shorts for men?" That's literally just a few inches above the knee, like 3-5... I agree with what his wife said when she came to "defend" him, they're literally the perfect/ideal length for men's shorts and as inoffensive as it can get...

Back in the 1970s and some of the 80s they had real "dad shorts" or "short shorts for men." Shorts that barely covered their butt cheeks. A few inches above the knee is not nearly that short!

Back in the 1990s and earlier 2000s though they had some quite huge, baggy, long shorts... if you're used to these, then I guess my 32 year old friend's shorts could seem like "dad shorts" in comparison. They're still nowhere near the real dad shorts of the 70s though. They just simply aren't excessively long... which to some equals "dad shorts" or "short shorts" I guess.
